Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan: Weekly Indemnity (Short Term Disability)

This benefit replaces salary during an employee's brief absence from work due to illness or injury. It pays a weekly income of 66 2/3% of gross earnings for employees under age 65 up to $800. Your company chooses from a range of options, deciding how long employees must be off work before they can collect benefits, and the length of time benefits are payable. Some options are designed specifically for Owners. Your advisor can help you design a program that fits your company's needs and budget.
